Draining Battery - Timer Clock

I have a Blackberry 9300 that is suddenly showing a timer clock on the main screen which is draining the battery. I've checked history in the forum and tried all the suggestions. I have never downloaded any extra apps and all the apps that came with the phone are closed except the basics that remain open. I have removed the battery while the phone is powered on and left it out for several minutes to hard reboot and reset it many times. Nothing is working. Any other suggestions? It won't hold a charge for more than 6 hours.

I have macbook air late 2010 model... it works fine otherwise but it has started being overheated in normal situations where normally it used to work fine and draining more battery....... battery time is almost half now.
should i reset SMC... would it help?

I'm doubtful it's a missing driver too, but I feel as though it's driver related. The first time XP was installed, after first boot without installing drivers, it was without sound etc, but fundamentally the system worked. Now after first boot, it's very buggy. Thanks for your suggestion Tonny. I ran the tool but it turns out the HDD is fine. Besides, everything runs fine in safe mode.
Does anyone know if (generally speaking) there is any firmware on the graphics card that would get updated via a Windows update? i.e. is it possible that Windows update downloaded a driver for the graphics card that installed new firmware that wasn't all that compatable with XP?

HT203124 That really *****, we have 4g, but poor signal outside cities, so it drains battery in 1 day! All other phones has 2g option,maybe it is time to switch to other os!

There may be nothing wrong with the phone. If the signal in your location is weak then the fault lies with the providers of that signal. Perhaps an alternate provider would help, even if the service costs more. Ultimately, in most countries it is the government that encourages the improvement of infrastructure.

Heating Up & Draining battery fast on iPhone 5s after iOS 7.1 update

Hi,
I updated my iPhone 5s 64GB to iOS 7.1 & it's heating up and draining battery so fast not to mention when I charge it , it takes longer time to charge!
I didn't have this issue before on the previous version. I tried restoring my iPhone two times & also rebooting my iPhone five times, but nothing works!
I've looked in other complaints and some of them suggested to switch off background app refresh and locations!
I didn't have this issue before and I won't turn them off because if the problem because of it then I should experience the same problem on the previous version and why would I turn it off? So what's the purpose of the phone?
My wife, my sister, my brother & my mom they got an iPhone 5 and they don't experience this problem except me!
My iPad Air and my wife iPad Mini 2( Retina Display) and there is no problem with the iOS 7.1 .
I've looked in other websites and found that there are other people experiencing the same problem. Apple should fix this problem ASAP!
Is there anyone experiencing the same problem and what did he/she do to fix it incase he/she fixed it !

I don't have any issues with my 5S on 7.1
Have you actually taken your phone to the Apple store and have them look at it?
Even if you don't want to turn off background app refresh, you should turn it off and see what the results are.
also you said you restored twice, did you restore as NEW?

Battery time and enhancement features

Smartphone’s are known for consuming a lot of battery power and depending on your configuration your phone might last longer or shorter than other phones. This topic contains some advice and info about what you can do to increase your battery time.
When using your new Android phone it will take approximately up to a week or so before the phone settles in its battery usage and power management, depending on applications installed and the amount of content in your phone. It’s worth mentioning that this evaluation that the phone runs in the background at first period of use will happen again after master reset or reinstalling/repairing the phone software. So if you have just reset or reinstalled your phone, this power management evaluation process will run again. So it might at first seem like your phone is consuming more battery power than before the reset, but its normal.
If you have been using your phone for a couple of week and still think that the battery time is a bit too low, here’s some advice that will increase the battery time.
First of all make sure that your phone is running on the latest version of the firmware. You can use PC Companion to check for software updates for your phone.
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
Or Bridge for Mac if you’re a Mac user:
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/bridge-for-mac/
You can also check battery consumption via the menu; Settings > About phone > Battery use, or Settings > Battery, or Settings > Power management > Battery.
Things that can be disabled or reduced when you don't need them:
Dim the screen
Disable live wallpaper if used
Turn off 3G (WCDMA), 4G (LTE).
Turn off mobile data traffic
Turn off Bluetooth®
Turn off Wi-Fi®
Turn off GPS
By doing this you will increase your battery time. But if you're still experiencing a low battery time you can try the following as proposed by many users on the forum. (Only applies for phones using removable battery)
When phone reaches 50% in battery level turn it off and pick out the battery for a few minutes. Put it back and connect the charger, now charge the phone turned off for about 5 hours or overnight. Start the phone as normal and check if the battery life time has improved.
You can also let the phone drain the battery completely until it turns itself on and won’t start again.
At this point connect the charger but do not turn on the phone, leave it charging while turned off until the battery indicator on the screen is completely filled.
Also make sure that you’re using a Sony original charger.
Battery enhancement features
Extended standby mode
Use the extended standby mode to make the battery last longer. Your Wi-Fi® connection, data traffic and unused applications are then paused when the phone is in standby. You can still receive phone calls, text and multimedia messages. Once the phone is used again, all paused functions are resumed.
You can enable/disable Extended standby mode via Settings > Power management. (Depending on model)
STAMINA mode
It has already been mentioned a couple of times that Smartphone’s use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those app’s that you have on your phone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. STAMINA mode is a further development of Extended standby mode and saves wasted battery drain by recognizing when your display is off and turning off functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you wake up your Android Smartphone, everything is up and running again.
Get only the important notices.
With Battery STAMINA mode, Wi-Fi® and data traffic are disabled during standby, but you still receive incoming calls, texts, and alarms. And since everyone has different needs, you can easily customize which app's you want to receive push notifications from even in standby mode. Facebook notifications on or off? It’s up to you.
The STAMINA mode will constantly re-evaluate your usage and update the expected standby time accordingly.
This standby time will completely vary depending on your own personal usage. You may see that when you first start using your handset, the Standby time will be higher than what is expected after you have used the handset for a few days. This is due to STAMINA mode having no previous usage history to estimate from.
If you have a very high usage level, you may only see a slight improvement between having STAMINA enabled and disabled. STAMINA mode is more effective the more often the display is turned off as this is when the power saving features kick in. If the display is rarely turned off, you may not see much improvement in the battery performance.
You can enable/disable STAMINA standby mode via Settings > Power management. (Depending on model)

I have an apple ipod. it has a drained battery and i have been unable to switch it back on. i have plugged it in to charge but its more dead than a dodo. can anyone help?

Help!
My kids IPOD touch has a drained battery. Usually I charge it and all is rosey. Not this time its showing no signs of life at all. Does anyone have any ideas please? Many thanks

Try a different charger. If that doesn't work, hold down the home and power buttons down at the same time for 10 seconds while the iPod is on the charger and see if it shows any signs of life. If none of the above work, you should set up a Genius Bar appointment at your locla Apple store. If you don't have a local Apple Store, you should call Apple customer support to get a replacement iPod.

X121e randomly wake up from suspended status and real time clock error

Hi all
Previously I considered my x121e suffer from overheating issue and causes real time clock error (RTC). However, after more testing and investigation, I believe the problem is related to other hardware issues and I like to hear people opinion before sending the laptop back to Lenovo.
The machine goes into suspend status either pressing the power button or closing the lid from Windows7 (clean install) without problem. However, it would wake up itself randomly, "beep" twice and screen shows RTC and CMOS checksum error. This happen more often when I am holding the machine (i.e. some movement/vibration). I wonder:
- Is it the RTC battery problem, cause the RTC to wake up the machine?
- Other hardware failure?
The laptop has a clean OS installed/recovered. Latest 1.16 Bios installed. No USB or memory card attached. Ram replaced and not the cause.
Please advise
Howard

Hello,
I am unsure; you would have to contact Lenovo directly and find out how they handle this situation. They may want the ThinkPad X121e back so they can run thorough diagnostics on it, just in case the problem is something else. That way it gets fixed the first time.

Busy timer clock in middle of screen, common solutions not helping

I have a Blackberry Tour 9630 with the 5.0.0.591 OS, and I am consistently seeing a busy timer/clock in the middle of my screen. It's usually there for a 10-15 sec and seems as if the BB is "thinking". I have tried the common solutions such as closing apps with the close command, doing a battery pull, etc, and have continued to have this issue. Any suggestions?
If it helps, here are the third party apps I have installed. I've put an asterisk next to the ones that need to stay open (or at least I think they need to stay open?):
- FourSquare   1.8.4
- GoogleMaps   3.2.1
- *Memory Booster   3.3
- *MissingSync   2.0.4.301
- OpenTable   1.0.2
- *RingScheduler   1.0.30
- *Skydeck   3.20
- The Weather Channel   1.5
Solved!

Are you storing pictures ON the BlackBerry device or ON the Media Card?
Look at Options > File Free. What is the number stated there?
Likewise, you might not think you have a lot of apps running, but if you open the Application Switcher, what's there?
Is the browser on an active page?
Try opening the browser > options > Cache Operations > Clear Cache.
Now do a reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
After the device is backup, give it five minutes to settle all the data activity down.
Now, see if you keep having the hourglass lag?

Error: 0271: Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings.

Hello all,
I have lenovo T430s laptop that is configured with Bitlocker encruptions and TPM PIN entry. I don't think that has anything to do with the error msg I am getting but here it is. Error: 0271: Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings.
Press Esc to continue or F1 to enter setup. I am unable to get into BIOS or even the login screen for Windows 7.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for the help. Just want to close this out. I had a IBM/Lenovo technician here today and he replaced the CMOS battery. Upon the change, the computer is fine being reconnected to the dock (the three times I tried it). So it has been resolved with the battery. Surprised by the incompatibility claim because I am not having issues now. Wondering if it's just a USB 2.0 vs. 3.0 thing (and Lenovo trying to sell more peripherals, of course).
Thanks!

Low battery time with Arch

Hi,
I'm running Arch on an Asus UX32LN and I've noticed that since my installation of Arch, my battery time has been reduced by 2-3 hours compared to when I was running Windows 8.1. What's the cause of this? Can I diagnose it somehow? I've lowered my screen brightness, I'm not using the graphics card or anything, running just a WM and no extras. This is just me sitting with chromium and a terminal open at most.
Any ideas?

Are you using BumbleBee to manage the nVidia card? Or have you disabled one of the cards from the BIOS/UEFI settings?
No.

Drained battery with iPhone 3G 3.0 upgrade

I loaded the new 3.0 software a few days ago with no problems. Today I found that my "turned off/ idle" phone in my pocket had gone to the new Apple recorder program and has been recording for 58 minutes by the time I discovered it. So unknown if this will be a source of battery drain by a program starting on its own (buggy?).

mine lasts a lot.
this is pretty much the daily use of my iPhone3G using 3.0 for a week.
i work from 7am to 4PM, one hour break time in that timeline , its on standby for 8 hours , on break time i pretty much make heavy use of Youtube , Safari and Mail among other Apps like IM+ and sometimes some games, after my work day i still have almost 50% of battery left.
my settings
Push is set to manual
Notifications are On and have 4 apps on it
the internet connection is always 3G
so my guess is that you guys do heavy use of your phones all day or maybe you guys are leaving the Safari , Mail and IPod apps running in the background.
test this and see if your battery lasts longer.
after every use of Safari , Mail or IPod before putting your Phone into standby do this, open safari, then press and hold the top button until you see the slide to power off option, release that button and now hold down home button (square) , after 6 seconds it will return to the home screen and Safari will be closed now ,do the same for Mail and IPod, open mail press top button until off slide , hold home for 6 seconds , then open Mail , hold top button until off slide then home for 6 seconds, now apps that don't shutdown like Safari , Mail and IPod will shutdown and the phone will use less battery while on standby. if you open them again they will again remain open and drain battery.
there was a function on 3.0 when it got announced that it would close every app to save battery, people complained about it, apple listened and removed that function. now only Safari ,Mail and IPod apps stay processing and wasting battery in the background.

IOS 8 SEVERELY draining battery on iPhone 5

Is there any way to fix it??
My Home/Lock screen racks up 47% of my battery usage since updating, while the background/app refresh, location services, and other features that drained battery in iOS 7 are turned off.
My battery has gone down by 5% within just 10 minutes of my phone sitting there, having absolutely nothing done to it.
Whenever I click the home button after about a minute or so, it goes down by a percent (sometimes two).
So my phone isn't even going to last me an hour of usage after this "upgrade"?

As much as I love getting a new gadget, I respect our environment more. So I'm holding on to my iPhone 5, 16GB because it's worked so well for the last 2 years and is still going strong. I charge it every night and at the end of the day I usually have 20% battery left. But that was before the iOS 8.0.2 update...
Now my phone lasts 4 hours and over heats. It died 3 times yesterday with normal use. The only variable is iOS 8.0.2
I looked up forums and found "tips" that are more like work-arounds. I tried resetting all settings which didn't work. All it did was give me annoying settings like 2 reminders for one SMS, location services off, and I lost my favourite lock screen photo of my two children (even though it said "no data or media will be lost" ).
I checked the settings for apps that are using most battery. Phone and lock screen are the top two. Lock screen?? Seriously??
I remembered that when I use GPS apps (ie. TomTom or Google Maps), the phone (just feels like any other "phone" now without the "i") would heat up in the same way it does now. So I snooped and found a little switch hidden deep, deep down in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services (scrolled down to the very, very bottom) and there was a switch for Status Bar Icon. I turned this ON and paid attention. It would turn on by itself on the lock screen. I thought that maybe Siri is using it? So I went into Settings > Privacy > Location Services and turned Siri's location access OFF.
The phone cooled down almost instantly. I'm charging it now and will update below on how I go, if anyone's interested...
Let me know how you go with this?

10 hours battery time?

Wonder how the battery time is calculated.... i have calibrated it twice and yet the battery can only last for about 5 hours only where I have only opened safari, microsoft word and excel...
is there any problem with my battery?
PS: i just bought it early of June 2010.

Sharon Tan,
Welcome to the forums.
The 10-hour battery life for your MacBook Pro is Apple's claim, which is tested by 'light' web browsing, and low screen brightness.
You say you have Safari opened up, are you watching any videos or playing any games? If so, the decrease in battery life may have something to do with Flash, which is a huge CPU drain and can drastically reduce battery life.
Also, if you have the brightness of either your screen or keyboard turned way up, battery life will go down.

Battery timer skipping 17 ways to christmas.

so i just got my macbook pro a few days ago and i'm curious about the battery timer. it's jumping all over the friggin place. it'll say i have 8 hours left, then it drops down to 6. then, it jumps back up to 7, now it's down at 5 hrs 26 minutes . i'm going through in the calibration process, i just finished the AC plugged in "2 hour resting period" step and next is to let it drain all the way, rest, and charge it again according to what it says here on the apple site =\
will calibration fix this? it's kind of a pain. i realize that i'm using the computer, but i'm hardly doing much. i just have this webpage open, nothing else.
sorry if this is a noobish question, i just wanted to know if i should snap into panic mode or not :B

The estimated time remaining is just that, an estimate. It's based on whatever the computer is doing at any given moment, and it will vary as what the computer is doing changes. The computer is always doing some things that aren't apparent to the user, and one of those things when the computer is brand new is the Spotlight application indexing your hard drive — a processor- and disk-intensive operation. In addition, it always takes the machine a while to refine its estimates, and it also helps to have the battery properly calibrated. Because none of those things has been completed in your case, the estimates are currently useless. In fact they are pretty useless all the time, because if you start doing something more demanding, the six hours you were expecting to have five minutes ago will suddenly only be four hours, and if you stop doing whatever it is after an hour and a half, the estimate may change from 2.5 hours remaining back to four. So what I recommend to everyone who will listen is to switch from the time display to the percentage display in the menu bar. That at least is an actual measurement instead of a guesswork projection.

"Voice Call" in Battery usage is very drain battery

After call as long time (ie. 1 hour , 2 hour or more)I was check Battery usage ... and i found "Voice Call" is very drain battery (4 hour from 95% to 0%)Last.... i think it's a problem of software and then i repaired by PC Companion.
